Oweek

so we're in the midst of Oweek right now, all the first years running about going to the "learn how to study and take notes and use computers" lectures. and the hazing is interesting... parently its a lot worse at the privat colleges, waking them up at 4am to scream and stuff but with ours last night was just making us run around campus screaming our very vulgar war song for uni hall. i won't put the lyris up here, they're pretty bad (and they call americans vulgar... heehee) then tonight is the toga party, that should be interesting. I'm pretty much done with all my orientation stuff, got signed up for classes and took my library tour, i don't really need to do anything else for the week but get my card from the bank, join the student union and go on some trips. thursday is going to be the trip to billabong sanctuary (holding koalas and playing with the crocs) and friday is the trip to magnetic island for the day, i'm thinking of getting a group together to rent a jeep for the day and drive around the island :) exciting

so i've met some awesome people that i think will make a great group for just hanging out with. julie, matt, amy, canadian girl (jen?) and brit all are much more like me in that they'd rather sit in and just hang out (not big on drinking but i think if there was a bottle of wine in the room it wouldn't be a problem) and don't have an interest in going out to the bars. max joins us too most of the time, tough i think he'd go out if he was 18. and justin and lex look in once in a while as well :) but we all sit in amy's room talking or watching movies, its great. julie has very similar tastes in movies and books and TV as me, she lent me a good fantasy book and we geeked out about lord of the rings. she's cute, she and her friend kate are fun to run around with. and hey all these people have cars!

can't wait for classes to start, i have field trips in 3 of my classes and i'm so psyched!

i leave you with some lovely pictures from my tours and such. Nemo first!! the last ones are when julie, amy, kate and i went out to explore campus and four a croc sculpture :)
